450-480 / 1000+ resultsresearch SERUM STEROIDS AND PITUITARY HORMONES IN FEMALE PUBERTY: A PARTLY LONGITUDINAL STUDY
During puberty, hormone levels rise, with early increases in some steroids and most menstrual cycles becoming regular by six years after menarche.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research The effects of two doses of spironolactone on serum androgens and anagen hair in hirsute women
Spironolactone reduced hair thickness and some testosterone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research LC‐MS/MS‐based method for long‐term steroid profiling in human scalp hair
A new method accurately measures long-term steroid levels in human hair.
research Prevalence of hyperandrogenemia in the polycystic ovary syndrome diagnosed by the National Institutes of Health 1990 criteria
Most women with PCOS have high levels of male hormones, and free testosterone is the best marker for this.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research BENIGN PREMATURE ADRENARCHE: CLINICAL FEATURES AND SERUM STEROID LEVELS
Dexamethasone effectively normalizes elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Androgens and Female Sexual Function and Dysfunction—Findings From the Fourth International Consultation of Sexual Medicine
Androgens play a role in female sexual function, and testosterone therapy can help women with low sexual desire, but more research is needed on treatments and long-term safety.
research Stroke Risk Factors Unique to Women
Women have unique stroke risks due to hormones, contraceptives, pregnancy, and menopause.
research Physical Changes, Laboratory Parameters, and Bone Mineral Density During Testosterone Treatment in Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria
Testosterone treatment effectively causes male physical development in transgender male adolescents but may lead to side effects like acne, higher BMI and blood pressure, lower good cholesterol, and decreased bone density.
research Sulfation of minoxidil by human liver phenol sulfotransferase
Minoxidil activates hair growth by being sulfated by P-PST in the human liver.
research Receiver operating characteristic analysis of the performance of basal serum hormone profiles for the diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome in epidemiological studies
Low SHBG and high FAI, FT, and DHEAS levels are effective in identifying PCOS.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Elevated Free Testosterone Levels in Women With Acne
Some women with acne have higher levels of free testosterone, which might suggest using hormonal treatments for acne.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research A Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men With the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women
Men with early hair loss have similar hormone levels to women with PCOS, possibly increasing risk of obesity and heart issues.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.

research DHEA and frontal fibrosing alopecia: molecular and physiopathological mechanisms
DHEA reduction may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Metabolism of androgens by isolated human beard hair follicles
Human beard hair follicles change testosterone into other related hormones, but don't much change androstenedione into testosterone.
research Studies on changes in the concentration of serum adrenal androgens in pubertal twins
